I am using Debian GNU/Linux coreutils 5.2.1-2
I burned a DVD-R and when I check the md5s.txt I get this crash. I
presume the DVD-R did not burn correctly, but md5sum should not seg fault.
$ md5sum -c md5s.txt
error processing Dog.Day.Afternoon.(1975).CD1.avi: failed in
buffer_read(fd): mdfile: Input/output error
Segmentation fault
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dvd]$
I tried to run it through gdb and catch some call stack or something, but it
got stuck and never completed:
$ gdb

Also, could -v and --version options be added to md5sum ? It took me a
while to find md5sum was part of textutils, and then that had been
merged into this coreutils.
I can code this and submit a patch if it would be considered?
Kind regards
JG
